The first Chinese car to be sold in Europe has scored zero — the worst-ever score — in safety tests.

The two-ton 4x4 scored zero stars in crash tests last week by the ADAC, the German automobile club, which carries out tests for Euro NCAP. “It had a catastrophic result,” said a spokesman for the ADAC. “In our 20-year history no car has performed as badly.”

It looks in no way like the Isuzu Rodeo.

Good call. Man, that's a near duplicate, eh?

Sure is! My wife used to own an Iron Man Edition...it was the biggest POS I have ever seen. That thing had so many issues.

I think it failed the test because of the fact the bumpers are made of eggrolls http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

All Asian automakers = PLAGIARIZERS

On the loooooooong drive back from Moab I noticed how many of the Japanese cars are knock-offs of German cars.
